MENDHAM, N.J. — Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi are
among the New Jersey natives joining a special fund created in the wake
of Superstorm Sandy.

The musicians will serve on the advisory
board of the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund. The nonprofit was
created by state first lady Mary Pat Christie to aid in the long-term
recovery effort following the storm.

The board has raised more than $16 million, so far.

Springsteen says he knows people will rally together to help neighbors to "come back better and stronger."

Bon Jovi says the damage and devastation is unimaginable.

The
musicians will join Kelly Ripa of "Live with Kelly and Michael,"
nationally syndicated talk show host Dr. Mehmet Oz, and musician and
actor Kevin Jonas as celebrities on the board.
